It might come as a big surprise to you, but the fact is that just because a product is advertised as "hypoallergenic skincare" it doesn't mean that it is free of allergens. Parabens-free skincare products might be free of parabens, but they may contain other artificial preservatives, which might be even more dangerous. Fragrances are among the most common allergens in skincare products. They might refer to more than 4000 types of synthetic chemicals. Cosmetic companies are not required to reveal the chemicals they use to create the fragrances. They take an unfair advantage of this by using synthetic chemicals which are hazardous to our health, just for the sake of maximising their profits. So even if you choose a certain hypoallergenic skincare product which has the word "fragrance" on the label, you are still exposing yourself to the wrath of toxic chemicals! Another example is of phenoxyethanol. It is a preservative used in some of the parabens-free skincare products. It has a toxic effect and should not be used around the eyes, mouth or lips. It is an allergen and causes an adverse impact to the brain and the central nervous system. The EU has classified it as an irritant. Thus, you can see that even parabens-free skincare are not necessarily more secure than products containing parabens. In fact, all forms of artificial preservatives pose a health hazard in more or less degree. The only preservatives that can be called safe in hypoallergenic skincare are natural vitamin E and grape seed extract. They play an effective role in conserving cold pressed vegetable oils and other botanical extracts included in herbal products. So, it's not just parabens-free skincare products that you need, but you need hypoallergenic skincare products free of all artificial and synthetic chemical substances such as fragrances, alcohols, dioxanes and mineral oils. You should look for products with natural ingredients and powerful antioxidants such as coenzyme Q10. Its nano emulsion version called Nano-Lipobelle H EQ10 penetrates seven layers deep into the skin and neutralizes free radicals, which are the prime cause of skin aging. Also look for natural plant based moisturizing oils such as jojoba oil, grape seed oil and avocado oil. There composition is similar to the sebum (natural oils) present in our skin. They are assimilated very easily and rejuvenate the skin with vital nutrients like vitamins, calcium, antioxidants and minerals. They make the skin soft, supple and smooth complexioned.
